Louis Tomlinson is still finishing up his album, revealing in an interview with BBC Radio 2 that he still wants to write a few “bangers”. Ryan Tedder from OneRepublic posted a video of what appeared to be Louis playing an Oasis song, hinting that the pair are working together on Louis’ debut album.

Meanwhile, Louis is still working hard at his X Factor gig as judge. The Judge’s Houses start airing today and will complete next week with live shows starting October 20.

Louis has been praised both by viewers and the boys he’s mentoring in the Boys category. Thomas Pound, one of Louis’ boys, tweeted, “Couldn’t ask for a better mentor - what an incredible down to earth lad with a heart the size of the ocean! @Louis_Tomlinson I owe you and will prove to you why I deserver to be in this competition”. He even hashtagged it @heisamazing.

Some viewers were upset that Nathan was let go, but the majority still love Louis as a judge. Medea tweeted, “Louis is the best judge in TXF history. No tea, just facts.”

The Judge’s Houses start airing today. Live shows should begin October 20 and run through early December. X Factor episodes air on ITV at 8:35 pm on Saturdays and 8 pm Sundays and on Sundays and Mondays at 8 pm on AXS in the US.
